Flood forces mission out of service RICHARD ROLKE

Morning Star Staff

A Vernon agency that serves hot meals to residents in need has been flooded out. A sprinkler pipe burst at the Upper Room Mission at about 10 p.m. Monday, sending a torrent of water through the building. “We are out of service until further notice,” said Lisa Anderson, URM spokesperson. The mission provides upwards of 300 meals a day to residents facing financial challenges, including seniors, the disabled and the homeless. “Our main concern is feeding everyone. We’ve contacted other agencies to see if they can help,” said Anderson. Save-On Foods served lunch in the URM parking lot Tuesday. It’s not known how long the mission will be closed as damage is repaired. “It’s cold outside for people and we’re kind of in shock,” said Anderson. The sprinkler pipe broke in an upstairs office. “The water went straight through to the bottom,” said Anderson, adding that there was six inches of water in the basement, where the women’s centre is located. “We have large fans trying to dry everything. The carpets are ruined.” The equipment in the kitchen is being inspected to determine if any damage occurred there. “We should be covered by insurance but we’re looking into that,” said Anderson.

Agreement to purchase rail line on track RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

There’s a deal to buy an abandoned chunk of rail line, but there’s still considerable uncertainty. A coalition of jurisdictions, including the Regional District of North Okanagan and Lake Country, have agreed to purchase a 47.5-kilometre corridor between Coldstream and Kelowna from Canadian National. The negotiated price is $22 million. “The funding still has to be finalized,” said David Sewell, RDNO chief administrative officer. During a 120-day due diligence process to lift conditions, the jurisdictions will determine how much each will provide for the purchase. It’s anticipated Kelowna will pick up a majority of the cost. There is also the hope that the provincial government will come to the table with funds.

There is a deal to purchase the rail line between Coldstream and Kelowna for $22 million. “We are trying to generate other grants,” said Sewell. Presently, RDNO’s funds will come from £

the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee but other communities may be approached to participate.

Also complicating matters is that while some of the jurisdictions have funds in place already, Lake Country must seek public approval to borrow its financial contribution. It’s anticipated that an alternate approval process would be held during the 120 days. Through an AAP, if 10 per cent of voters sign a petition in opposition, borrowing cannot proceed. “We do have a lot of people supporting it but there are others who say we shouldn’t be spending money on a specific recreational activity,” said James Baker, Lake Country mayor. The other potential complication for acquiring the rail corridor is the fact that 2.5 kilometres go through the Okanagan Indian Band’s Duck Lake reserve. It is not part of the deal. “We have to look at what we intend to do with the rail bed,” said Chief Byron Louis.

Dreamlift Day now just a happy memory RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

ed.

Dreamlift appears to be ground-

Park Inland Restaurants, which owns the local Wendy’s franchise, has decided not to host the annual Wendy’s Dreamlift Day in the future. Proceeds from the event helped the Sunshine Foundation send Interior children with lifethreatening illnesses or disabilities to Disneyland for the day. “We celebrated 20 years with Dreamlift with the support of our communities and now is the time to help out other organizations in our communities,” said Ken Park, Park Inland owner. Wendy’s Dreamlift Day began when the Okanagan, Kamloops and Salmon Arm restaurants were owned by John Tietzen, Akbal Mund and other partners. They sold the franchise to Park in 2012. Park Inland will back the Dave Thomas Foundation, which was started by Wendy’s founder Dave Thomas and focuses on adoptions. “The goal is to help children in foster care in our community find permanent homes. It will be a lift that lasts a lifetime,” said Park.

MORNING STAR FILE PHOTO

Wendy’s Dreamlift Day has been a tradition in the Okanagan since 1994. The fundraiser will no longer be sponsored by Park Inland Restaurants. Since 1994, more than $1.4 million was raised during Wendy’s Dreamlift Day and seven trips to Disneyland occurred. The funds raised included the gross profits and salaries from the

staff, management and ownership of the nine Wendy’s restaurants in the region. “Sunshine will continue to fulfill dreams for kids in the region and it wishes Park Inland Restaurants

success as they provide support for other deserving charities,” said Tristan Joseph, Sunshine Foundation of Canada communications officer. However, Sunshine Foundation

Municipalities welcome railway deal Continued from A1 “We have to consult with our membership. The rail trail may make sense for municipalities but it may not fit into our needs.” A portion of the track along Kalamalka Lake is also part of the band’s Commonage land claim. Participants in the process welcome the purchase agreement with CN. “What we wanted was a continuous corridor and I am pleased we’ve been able to

do it,” said Jim Garlick, Coldstream mayor. “It’s a decision you make now for the future,” added Juliette Cunningham, a Vernon councillor. However, Bob Fleming, an RDNO director, admits that the potential purchase is just the start of the process, “The railway has to salvage the rails and the signals. Any discussion about how it (corridor) will be used still requires a lot of work,” he said, adding that possible uses are a commuter rail service or a recreational trail.

has not indicated how it will continue to serve Interior youth or if Dreamlift flights from the region will continue. “We certainly hope that there will be more Sunshine Dreamlifts serving kids in the Okanagan,” said Joseph. “At this point, we don’t have definitive information on when that might be. Sunshine will continue to fulfill individual dreams for kids in the Okanagan.” While Wendy’s will no longer host the major Dreamlift Day fundraiser, Park says his franchise will continue to support individual dreams through Sunshine Foundation. As a former owner, Mund would not comment on the decision made by Park Inland Restaurants to not sponsor Dreamlift Day. “Am I sad to see it go, of course. But I am happy that there were seven flights that left the Interior,” he said of the enjoyment the Disneyland trips brought to the children participating. “I focus on the thousands of volunteers who helped out during the fundraiser. We served many kids and I am proud of that fact.”

Lobbying for a recreational corridor has come from the Okanagan Rail Trail Initiative. “We need to recognize that municipalities and CN have worked hard at negotiating to find a solution that works for everybody,” said Brad Clements, rail trail spokesperson. “This is the major first step in securing an incredible asset that will be a benefit to the community for our lifetime. The next phase will be supporting municipalities to build the trail.”

7 1 Y R A S R E V I N N A E L S A EFT! L S Y A 4D Mund takes on new role RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

His new responsibilities are weighing heavily on Akbal Mund. Mund, who topped the polls in a five-way race Nov. 15, was sworn in as Vernon’s mayor Monday. “About an hour before, there were a lot of jitters,” said Mund of his preparations for the inaugural council meeting. “The seven of us are responsible for everyone in this community and not just this community, but our neighbours too.” Also sworn in to office were incumbent councillors Juliette Cunningham, Catherine Lord, Brian Quiring and Bob Spiers, and new councillors Scott Anderson and Dalvir Nahal. “I have a lot of respect for them. They want to be involved and they care,” said Mund. During his inaugural address to a capacity crowd at city hall, the former Wendy’s owner emphasized the need for team work. “This council will work together over the next four years for the betterment of the City of Vernon,” he said. “All of us take on this position to serve because we do care. We look forward to listening and solving the issues as we can.” During the ceremo-

ny, gifts were presented to retiring mayor Rob Sawatzky and Mary-Jo O’Keefe, a two-term councillor who ran for mayor. There was also acknowledgment of Patrick Nicol, a long-

time councillor who died in January. Council will gather Tuesday to start making plans for the fouryear term, and among the priority issues is the 2015 budget. “We’ll look at it and

see what we can do,” Mund told the media. “I am glad Mr. Sawatzky put in a plan to deal with infrastructure.” Vernon council’s first regular meeting is Dec. 8.

building had already collapsed in on itself and the fire was moving through the rest of the trailer,” said Dave Lawrence, Okanagan Indian Band fire chief. There was little that could be done to save the mobile home. “We made sure the flames didn’t spread to other trailers,” said

Lawrence. A woman was asleep inside the mobile home when the fire broke out. “She heard a loud bang. She came out into the hallway and everything was on fire,” said Lawrence. The resident is staying with family in Vernon. A major challenge

for firefighters was the extremely cold temperature, which dropped down to about minus 19. “As soon as the water hit the ground, it was turning to ice. Everything was freezing,” said Lawrence. The cause of the fire has not been determined.

New director for chamber board Morning Star Staff

The Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce has bolstered its board membership. The latest board member is Diana Wilson, who is director of solution delivery at Kal Tire. She was also a director at Sierra Systems and she has been president of the Vernon Paddling Diana Wilson Centre for two years. “I believe we have a lot to look forward to in growing the organization,” said Wilson. “I’ve been impressed by the work

of the chamber and look forward to helping advocate on behalf of our members and local businesses to ensure the North Okanagan maintains a strong economic foundation.” The Vernon Senior Secondary grad fills one of two spots that remained open on the chamber board since the annual general meeting. “Her business experience combined with her community work, made her a great fit for the board,” said Jaron Chasca, GVCC president. “As part of our three-year strategic plan we have been strengthening our board to shape an organization that can better serve our members and add value to the business community and Diana will be an immense help in that effort.”

Enderby council ready for term RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

They’re down to business in Enderby. A new council was sworn into office just prior to the first regular meeting Monday. “Everything went pretty smooth,” said Greg McCune, who admits he noticed a difference shifting from councillor to Greg McCune mayor. “You used to be in the mood to talk and now you’re encouraging others to speak.”

McCune is joined by incumbent councillors Tundra Baird, Brad Case and Raquel Knust, and new councillors Roxanne Davyduke, Brian Schreiner and Shawn Shishido. “Everyone feels quite comfortable. It’s a good team,” said McCune. Among the actions Monday were establishing the 2015 meeting schedule and determining acting mayors when McCune is not available. Council appointments were also made. McCune will go to the Regional District of North Okanagan while Case and Davyduke will attend Enderby and District Services Commission meetings. Enderby’s Okanagan Regional

Library representative will be Baird, while Schreiner will go to the Enderby and District Heritage Commission and Shishido will be the liaison to the Enderby Chamber of Commerce. Case and Baird will be part of the Enderby-Splatsin Joint Committee. The next step will be for Enderby council members to attend an orientation session. “The orientation session will involve a review of operations, major projects and the infrastructure deficit, as well as a tour of facilities such as the waste water treatment plant and water treatment plant,” said Tate Bengtson, chief administrative officer.

Realtors’ campaign bolsters food banks $ Morning Star Staff

The 37th annual Realtors Food Drive runs today in Armstrong, Coldstream Enderby and Vernon. “As realtors, we give our time and resources to this worthwhile event because it is a way to

give back to the community we care about,” said Dawn Taylor, food drive organizer. Non-perishable food items that are collected will be donated to the community food banks in Armstrong, Enderby and Vernon.

Blaze destroys shop RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Several pieces of machinery were destroyed by fire early Monday morning in Enderby. Firefighters were called to a fully involved shop fire at a dairy farm on Dale Avenue at 1:20 a.m. “The roof was collapsed into the building when we got there,” said Kevin Alstad, Enderby fire chief. “We couldn’t save the building.” Inside the structure was a variety of equipment, including two tractors, a bailer, a quad and a truck. “All of it was lost,” said Alstad. But the firefighters were able to keep the blaze from spreading to other adjacent buildings. Cold weather proved to be a challenge. “The air packs kept freezing up but we had a good crew on site,” said Alstad. The property owner has insurance and the cause of the fire has not been determined. “It’s definitely not suspicious,” said Alstad.

Vernon realtors will be joined during the food drive by staff from financial institutions and the local branch of the Early Childhood Educators of B.C. In

Enderby, realtors will be joined by Enderby Financial and A.L. Fortune Secondary students. The food drive will begin at 5 p.m. in all

communities. There will not be a door-to-door campaign in Lumby but residents can drop food off at the Lumby real estate offices.

Thanks for the memories

he first time I winged south to Disneyland on a Dreamlift flight, my oldest daughter was starting kindergarten (she is now in her third year of university). I felt guilty about not being there for this significant family milestone, but that disappeared once I was introduced to Vernon siblings Kristen and Mitchell de Jong. For Mitchell, eight, and Kristen, six, the Sunshine Foundation’s one-day extravaganza to the Magic Kingdom was a break away from the daily challenges of cystic fibrosis. The anticipation escalated during the trip, and it boiled over once they hit Splash Mountain. “I liked going down the steep hill. It was scary but it was fun,” said Kristen. Richard Rolke Despite a serious illness, the pair remained energetic and set a pace that left their chaperones, and this reporter, struggling to keep up. “Seeing their faces and excitement has been terrific. It’s great to have somebody who has never been here before and see it through their eyes,” said Mark Goins, a retired Orange County deputy sheriff who volunteered to show the kids around. Seeing Kristen and Mitchell, and all of the other disabled and seriously ill children, in action was overwhelming. It also gave me strong appreciation for the two healthy girls I had at home. It was because of that trip that I began volunteering every year at Wendy’s Dreamlift Day, the major valley-wide fundraiser that generated the funds needed for the flights to Disneyland. It didn’t matter if I was flipping burgers or clearing tables, I knew I was helping make a difference in the lives of some great kids. And then in November 2009, I got calls from Akbal Mund, then-owner of the Vernon Wendy’s, and Steve Tuck, with the Sunshine Foundation. They had a seat for me on the Dec. 10 flight — my 42nd birthday.

BEYOND THE HEADLINES

This time, I was hooked up with sevenyear-old Nicholas Buburuz, of Lavington, and eight-year-old David Laurie, of Westbank. They only had six hours in Disneyland and they used absolutely every minute of it. “You were so fast, you beat everybody,” sheriff Tom Gallivan told Buburuz as he bounced up stairs and across bridges at Tarzan’s Treehouse. “He was climbing a rope like a monkey.” The final Dreamlift trip came just last year, in December 2013. My companions were two 12-year-olds — Vernon’s Keegan Meise and Kamloops’ Mitchell Kopytko. Their entire goal was to get volunteer chaperone Kathryn Smith, a Kamloops nurse, hurtling down the chute on Splash Mountain. “I want to see her get soaking wet,” said Meise. Attitudes were shaped that day. “I originally wanted to see what it’s like and it’s great to see how happy they are. More people should see how this (trip) affects the kids’ lives,” said Brock Symyk, a Kelowna firefighter who served as a chaperone. All of these experiences came to mind when I heard that Wendy’s Dreamlift Day is coming to an end. It would be easy to be angry, but the reality is that business decisions have to be made. Park Inland Restaurants, which took over the franchise from Mund and his partners in 2012, want to pursue relationships with other charities and that is entirely fair. Instead of being critical, I want to focus on the good that happened. Since 1994, more than $1.4 million has been raised and there were seven trips to Disneyland involving generally about 50 children per flight. Residents throughout the Okanagan embraced these children as their own and made Dreamlift Day an overwhelming success. Very few events actually bring communities together. But most of all, I will forever be humbled by the courage I saw first-hand. These kids faced pain and, for some, the prospect of death daily, but they laughed and smiled and showed us adults that every minute of life is worth embracing.

Everyone is gearing up for the Christmas season, that wonderful time of year focused on giving. There are food drives collecting for the local food bank, and campaigns of all kinds to help those in need, including toy drives trying to ensure that all children have something waiting for them under the Christmas tree. This is a great thing, and it is good-hearted people that both organize and contribute to them. But the best they can hope for, and it is a good goal, is to alleviate some of the need. The sad fact is, the issue of child poverty is not going to be solved by a once-a-year campaign. According to the annual report released by First Call, a coalition of advocacy groups, child poverty is on the rise in B.C. rather than declining. According to the B.C. Child Poverty Report Card, 169,240 children were living below the poverty line in this province in 2012. Last year, the report said 153,000 children. First Call set out 19 recommendations in their report with a goal of reducing the child poverty rate across the province to seven per cent by 2020. The recommendations cover a range, from raising the minimum wage to increased child tax benefits and rescinding cuts to Employment Insurance. But what they all have in common is the need for provincial and federal governments to address the problem. When we see the enormity of the problem of child poverty, it is clear it is time for upper levels of government to join in the fight to make some long-term change. — Black Press

Water plan peer review required

ollowing the Regional District of North Okanagan presentation at the Schubert Centre, I am even more convinced of the wisdom of the no vote in which the electorate, by a two to one margin, opted for a peer review of the Greater Vernon water plan. From the reaction of Greater Vernon folks attending, it is evident that most came away, firm in this position. Here's why: 1. Out of hand dismissal by RDNO and water advisory staff of the history and many years of toil and struggle by past mayors and councils, to develop the foundation of a safe, dependable and cost-effective water system that served residential, commercial, agricultural,industrial and recreational needs of the Greater Vernon family. 2. We were presented with phase one of the master water plan with a price tag of $70 million which perpetuates the over-reliance on the Duteau system to provide safe, affordable water to our user base. Conspicuous by its absence was any reference to phase two, which follows the six-project itinerary and we would again be asked for an additional $38 million for future upgrades. So then we would be forced to face funding of $108 million. But that's not all. Add to this, the $61 million already spent on the Duteau system, and an additional $38 million required to maintain and service the system over the next five years and we are on hook for close to $200 million. 3. Conspicuous by its absence also, in the master water plan, is any reference to what easily could have been presented as option 10 in the plan. We were presented with nine options that were considered by a multitude of experts to be the best solutions to our water problems going forward. These nine options were focused primarily on continued development of the Duteau system, and the Duteau/Kalamalka combination supply scenario at the expense of applying the same due diligence to option 10 which is development of the Kalamalka/ KAL PARK CYCLISTS This letter is sent to the bike riders, that continue to ride in Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park, and especially to those who choose to show kindness by sharing the trails with the hikers and horseback riders. This is a big thanks of heartfelt gratitude to those who choose to slow down on the switchbacks down to Cosens Bay, in fact on any trail within the park, thus not endangering the health and lives, of those who choose to see the park on foot or horseback. Really appreciate that you would show such great respect to others who enjoy the park. You show the true ethics of human kindness and consideration. I am grateful, it is the majority of riders, who choose to ride considering the safety of others and their own safety. I am also grateful that it is truly very few who give bike riders a bad reputation, when they show a lack of respect to all, but themselves. As for the few riders who choose otherwise, including the one that clipped me on Nov. 16., you give all riders a bad name.

Okanagan Lake system. When asked why this important option was not included in the master water plan, we were told that the experts didn't think it worthy of their consideration. Yet, option 10 uses the best of all resource possibilities, these being two great deep lake water sources which by their nature, would require the least filtration, the safest, time-tested quality drinking water, the easiest reclamation process, and less reliance on the tenuous, unpredictable and cost-intensive Duteau system. 4. We were told that our licensure holdings for Kalamalka Lake are maxed out and that we could not expand our licensure for Okanagan Lake because the province favours fishing licensure over the need for water supply to our community. The licensure issues can be addressed at the political level by seasoned negotiators on behalf of all of us, to affect compromise so that sport fishing interests, and fish and wildlife habitats are safeguarded as well. 5. Throughout the term of RDNO's quest for public funding, there has been a thread of fear-based rhetoric emanating from RDNO management, water advisory management and staff, and some local politicians, that Interior Health would

Many fellow hikers in the park have related endless stories of how certain riders have come close to hitting them at very high speed. I am aware you are the minority of bike riders I cross paths with. It seems you may feel you own the trails. May you one day come to respect that others have a right to utilize the park trails in safety. That the park is there for all to enjoy. And let us all hope that someone is not injured for life because of selfish actions. Mark Sandberg

ahead anyway in some form or another. The value of a vote certainly comes into question when big brother is telling us when and where to spend our money, and also how much of it, no matter what our wishes are. Possibly big brother is becoming too big for his britches. Cam Clayton GOING GREEN Thank you Dave Smith, federal Green Party candidate for Okanagan-Shuswap, for your letter entitled Emphasize the renewables. It was well-written and informative, nothing that we haven't heard before but it seems that people need to hear it often. We need to stop being influenced by marketing and advertising done by the businesses who want to keep making money, regardless of the effect on our environment. I want to leave "something" to my grandchildren. You'll be getting my vote in the next election. Judy Douglas

VOTER TURNOUT With all its faults, democracy is still the best thing we have and should be respected as such. On first analysis, a 30 per cent voter turnout sounds terrible, and is usually chalked up to voter apathy. Upon further analysis it becomes quite understandable. Voters in Vernon have turned down a terribly expensive water referendum, and are now being virtually told that it must go

and will force us to accept the proposed water plan because we have "no alternative" plan in place, to meet 2014-15 federal water standards. An Interior Health official was at the public meeting and re-assured the audience that IH had no intention to force any action if a no vote prevailed. A reasoned response by Interior Health in the face of a fear-based attempt to sway voters, calls for dialogue with all stakeholders to develop a plan that addresses all present and future water safety issues. 6. And finally, fear of mussel infestation into our two deep lakes was voiced by water advisory management as a rationale for not using Kalamalka/Okanagan as the principal drinking water source for our community. We were told that it was not a matter of "if" but "when" this will occur. This fear-based approach fails to take into consideration, the resources that were mustered, and brought to bear by Okanagan citizens, working together with provincial and local law enforcement personnel to counter and ultimately defeat the milfoil scare of the past 20 years. Why wouldn't we do this again if it were needed? To address all of these questions, what's needed is a peer review of the entire referendum question. This can only be accomplished in the days ahead by marshaling the no vote so loudly and wisely voiced in the referendum. I am at a loss to explain why in the face of an overwhelming rejection of the Greater Vernon water plan, as presented, RDNO and water advisory personnel continue to use the media to instill fear and to obfuscate, instead of leading the way toward review which is the public will. Perhaps the new mayor and council, who lead the way in opting for peer review, will consider cleaning house and re-constructing a water advisory board that is at a minimum, responsive to public input.

Jazz courses through singer’s veins Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

You may have seen her name as a byline in these pages, and now you’re about to see Amanda Morazain’s name in lights when she takes the stage at the Vernon Jazz Club Saturday. A contributor to The Morning Star, who normally promotes the musicians coming to perform at the jazz club, Morazain herself is an accomplished singer and performer. Backed by well-known Okanagan musicians, and jazz club regulars, Nelville Bowman on piano, Bernie Addington on bass, Craig Thomson on sax and Scott Gamble on drums, Morazain will be tantalizing jazz fans with standards including Night in Tunisia (Dizzy Gillespie), Something’s Got a Hold On Me (Etta James), and Charade (Johnny Mercer) as well as some more modern songs such as If I Ain’t Got You (Alicia Keys) and Toxic (Britney Spears). “You’ll also be hearing Latin tunes by Brazilian composer/pianist Antônio “Tom” Carlos Jobim,” said Morazain “It’s actually going to be my husband Mathew’s birthday the night of the gig. I have him to thank for introducing me to Jobim.” Morazain was initially introduced to music through her grandparents. “They used to take me to watch musicals all the time when I was growing up. They also had a huge collection of movies that I watched on a regular basis like State Fair, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, and Meet Me in St. Louis,” she said. “I would love to sing and dance along to my favourite songs while they were playing.” Morazain later attended a government-funded secondary school for the arts, where she studied voice. “I first started to train vocally in musical theatre and classical. It wasn’t until I was about 18 that I realized that all of those musi-

“I fell in love with Ella Fitzgerald in particular.”

— Amanda Morazain cal theatre songs that I had loved while growing up had been turned in to jazz standards,” she said. “I fell in love with Ella Fitzgerald in particular and went to Toronto’s Humber College to study vocal jazz. Years later I still have my heart strings pulled by Ella, Chet Baker, Astrud Gilberto, and Lhasa de Sela.” Since moving to the Okanagan, Morazain has been an adjudicator, workshop clinician, and performer at the BC Interior Jazz Festival. Her debut album, Pathway, featuring Thomson, Bowman, Addington, Gamble as well as Loni Moger and Michael Garding, was nominated for the B.C. Interior Music Award’s Best Jazz Album of the Year in 2009 and was suggested as a great gift for the holidays by CBC Radio’s Tonic. When not writing or performing, Morazain also teaches approximately 70 private students a week at Wentworth Education Centre in Kelowna. “I started teaching privately when I went to Humber and have been doing it pretty much ever since,” said Morazain, who also teaches Zumba, a Latin-based dance fitness class, in Kelowna. Morazain has performed alongside her students at sold-out shows in the Kelowna Community Theatre and at Prospera Place for the B.C. Summer Games. The busy mother of two young girls is also in the process of getting her bachelor of arts in psychology. Well known throughout the B.C. Interior as an accompanist, composer and arranger for other artists, as well as his work in the-

Jazz singer amanda morazain brings her band of highly respected okanagan musicians to the Vernon Jazz Club saturday. atre, Bowman is a former member of the award winning Just In Time trio, and indie rock group Ten2Nine. He can be seen performing at numerous venues in the Okanagan, solo, with members of the highly respected Jazz Café band and with the new phenomenal funk project, Groove Engine.

Bowman wrote the music for two original stage productions in 2014, as well as an original commissioned work for Ballet Kelowna called Redux Continuum. Addington began composing, performing and recording in 1983. From 1989 to ‘91, he studied jazz at the Vancouver Community College School of Music, majoring

in performance and acoustic bass. While there, he studied under the renowned bassist Rick Kilburn. Since completing his studies, Addington has enjoyed a successful career as a freelance musician and private instructor. He has played extensively throughout North America, Europe, and Australia. Over the years, he has recorded with numerous artists as a session musician. Since moving to the Okanagan, Addington continues to play and record throughout the Interior as a first-call musician and band leader. Thomson is a well-respected teacher and clinician. He runs the band program at Mount Boucherie Secondary School in West Kelowna and also organizes the B.C. Interior Jazz Festival and the Thursday night jazz jams, which take place on a weekly basis at the Kelowna Rotary Centre for the Arts. In 2013, Thomson was recognized with an Okanagan Arts Award for his contribution to music. He has also accompanied Ali Henry and Kenny “Blues Boss” Wayne at the Vernon Jazz Club. As a versatile drummer, Gamble is in high demand for both live and studio work and plays many genres in multiple bands. He was named musician of the year at the 2006 B.C. Interior Music Awards and is also a successful graphic artist. Gamble has played with Dee Daniels, Bill King, and Carol Welsman as well as pop artists Daniel Powter and Greg Sczebel. He has been on the Vernon Jazz Club stage numerous times with bands Groove Engine, Rann Berry and the Random Act, and Julie Masi. Morazain and the band are at the Vernon Jazz Club, 3000 31st St., Saturday at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7:15 p.m. Tickets are $20 at the Bean Scene, Bean to Cup, and at www.vernonjazzclub.ca.

New exhibition space opens in Vernon Inaugural show features abstract paintings by Heidi Thompson Contributed to The Morning Star

Artists have a new place to hang in Vernon. Spinners Sound Centre and Gallery, a new high-end audio store and gallery in downtown Vernon, is inviting the public to its first opening exhibition featuring the work of abstract artist Heidi Thompson. When Spinner’s owner Dieter Theiss and store manager Carl St. Jean moved into their 30th Avenue location, formerly Gregory’s Jewelry, they say they were dazzled by the elegant walls, antiquated ceilings, chandeliers and ambiance of the historic building. They saw that the space was not only ideal for enhancing sound, which would be perfect for demonstrating their high-end audio equipment, but the expansive walls were calling out for

inspiring art. St. Jean, an artist himself, immediately envisioned a marriage of sight and sound and invited Thompson to be their first artist. When Thompson stepped into the elegant space, she was also inspired. She felt that it would be perfect for her large non-objective and colourful paintings. Thompson was born in Vernon and traveled to Europe in the ‘70s to study art. After returning home, she opened a photography studio and continued painting. Thompson currently exhibits internationally and this year had shows in San Diego and Switzerland. St. Jean and Thompson have selected paintings that complement music for this inaugural exhibition. They both feel that abstract art is like music – colours, patterns and light create compositions that evoke similar emotions. Theiss and St. Jean are looking forward to featuring other artists and welcome proposals. The public is invited to a free evening reception Friday from 6 to 9 p.m. at 3107 30th Ave.

Enderby chapel hosts Christmas story Morning Star Staff

The Christmas spirit is in full swing at the Enderby Evangelical Chapel as the church’s drama team and choir are in their final week of preparation to stage A Soldier and a King. The musical is part of the chapel’s Christmas pageant, Sunday, and includes a 22-voice children’s choir, with voice, piano, violin and dance solos. Written and directed by Gerty Shipmaker, the story follows the traditional Christmas story of the birth of Christ from the perspective of a Roman soldier, played by Ryan White. He and his fellow soldier (Steven Stankoven) are in Bethlehem as Mary (Alyse Nicks) and Joseph (Michael Tualk) arrive. They witness the couple looking for a room and then interact with the shepherds and wise men as they come to see the newborn king. Interspersed with the drama are 13 pieces of music, under the direction of local music teacher Ruth Anne MacKnee.

Grace Murdock strings some beads to sell in her shop at the first century marketplace, part of Bethlehem Star, the annual free family event that celebrates the beginning of Christmas and taking place Friday, Saturday and Sunday at Emmanuel Baptist Church in Vernon.

OPEN MONDAY TO FRIDAY

Take a Christmas journey Katherine MortiMer Morning Star Staff

Every year around this time, families begin to get caught up in the frenzy of the holiday season that has little to do with the real meaning of Christmas. But at Emmanuel Baptist Church, the community is invited to slow down and take a journey back in time to begin Christmas where Christmas began in the annual journey that is Bethlehem Star. The free family event begins in a first century marketplace, where you can barter for goods, join the Roman Army or learn how to shepherd a flock. The marketplace is bustling with activity and has something for everyone. Bethlehem Star coordinator Shay Hentschel has been involved since the beginning, about five years ago. She said the idea originally came from a pastor whose previous church in Parksville had done a similar event. “He brought the idea to our board and members and everyone thought it was a wonderful idea to work collaboratively together and to give back to our community,” she said. “This is our gift to the community, to begin your Christmas where Christmas began, and for people to see and learn what Christmas is all about. “Last year, it was minus 17 but we still had more than 3,000 people attend over the weekend, and this year we’d like to see even more — and we do have people who come back every year.” The massive event brings together about 20 different teams which meet to plan the message they want to share, as well as details of the event, such as what needs to be changed and what should

Each family gets a bag of shekels to spend in the marketplace. remain the same. “This year we wanted it to have that back-in-time Bethlehem feel from the moment you walk in, so we kept the things that people like,” said Hentschel. “And once you come over the bridge into the parking lot, it will be a shepherd’s field, with sheep, as if literally you were coming into Bethlehem; once you come into the tent, that will be the Bethlehem market, where you get the shekels and the different booths, but we’re always tweaking it.” This year, the market has been expanded to include a live auction and a chance to experience life in the town square. “We’ll have the Centurions who are always looking to recruit for Caesar’s army and they get going quite enthusiastically.” The marketplace then leads to a replica of a Bethlehem village, depicting people in their own homes, how they lived and the activities they would be taking part in within their village. “We’ll have the inn and of course the live nativity — we’re blessed to have lots

of babies at our church,” said Hentschel, adding that it’s never difficult finding volunteers for the roles of Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus. “And then there is also going to be a rabbinical school, like a synagogue, with rabbis teaching.” A fun feature for kids of all ages — as well as adults — is the photo booth, where people can put on costumes and have a souvenir photo to take home. On entering the village, you will be served hot cocoa and cookies to enjoy as you take in the sights. And finally, a live theatrical production will take place in the sanctuary of the church, where everyone can also enjoy singing a selection of well-known Christmas carols. “We have between 200 and 250 volunteers that give their time, doing everything from baking cookies to tending sheep,” said Hentschel. “There are a lot of people who don’t know what Christmas is all about anymore, and that’s what’s important for us. “This really brings our church together — we have people who might not have sat in church together but they sign up to do these jobs, so here they are in a stall together in the marketplace. So we find it’s really a double blessing, especially if we have new people — it really draws them in.” Bethlehem Star takes place Friday from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., Saturday and Sunday from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Emmanuel Baptist Church is at 3412-15th. Ave., with parking across the street at the ball diamonds. Just follow the big spotlight that will be guiding visitors to the church, much as the Three Kings followed the star to that stable in Bethlehem so long ago.

Hold the gluten, please

oday I wanted to offer a couple of Christmas recipes for those of you who must avoid gluten in your diets because of celiac, or allergies that cause blood and skin reactions. OK, truth is, I’m feeling somewhat sorry for myself this

week because I now fall into this category and can’t believe I’ll never again be free to enjoy the variety of baked goods I normally produce at Christmas. It’s so unfair! Having had my pity party, I’m now into testing recipes and hope to compile a

number to share. Today I’m offering a Christmas cake and pudding recipe that fit the bill. The Christmas cake doesn’t have to be made in advance, so there’s lots of time to make and have it on hand to enjoy. Be sure to wrap it tightly and store it in the refrigerator. Sticky toffee pudding is an English favourite and lends itself to this gluten-free version exceptionally well. Thanks to Pamela’s Baking & Pancake Mix. Though gluten-free, these can be enjoyed by anyone. Gluten-free Christmas cake 850g dried mixed fruit 1 cup brandy, divided 150g butter, softened 1 cup brown sugar

News Scans support area food bank

FUTURE SHOP – Correction Notice Please be advised that the Nikon D7100 24.1MP DSLR with 18-140mm VR Lens, Bag & Accessories (WebID: 10327236), advertised in the November 28 Black Friday flyer, page 8, is shown with two lenses but it comes with only ONE 18-140mm lens. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our valued customers.

JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff

A local businessman, who has had his own share of hard times, wants to give back to those most in need. Derek Deans, owner of Henry’s Dad Computer Repair and Technical Solutions, is offering his scanning services Saturday in support of the Salvation Army Food Bank. “This time last year I was employed as a remote area medic up north however I slipped on an ice patch and seriously injured my back,” said Deans, a father of four, who was forced into some tough times. “As a result of this injury my financial situation took a nose dive.” Although his situation has returned to normal, he now understands first-hand the importance of services for those in need, such as the food bank, “This was an extremely humbling time and one I never wish to be in again,” said Deans. “Hard times can hit anyone.” As part of his new business, Henry’s Dad Computer Repair, Deans converts customers’ old negatives, slides and photos into a digital format that can be saved on a computer or memory device. “I own a high resolution negative scanner that can scan almost any type of media and am able to enlarge images to huge resolution sizes.” Deans will host a Scanning for Food event at his home workshop at 132 Sarsons Road, Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. “I will basically scan, edit and enlarge up to 20 images at absolutely no cost – all I am asking for is a contribution to the food bank box,” said Deans, noting that the same services are available for approximately $2 per image at some businesses. “People can get some of their old memories digitized and put on a CD as a great Christmas present for their friends or family, they can have an old photo restored and enlarged to fit a nice new frame, some of the old negatives may not have been viewed for many years.” While Deans is eager to give back to the food bank, he is also looking forward to making the season a little merrier for customers. “I recently completed a project for a customer who has Alzheimer’s and it was great to see his face and listen to his memories when he started to recall his wartime memories in Germany.” Coffee and hot biscuits will be available during the day as memories are preserved and support is raised for those in need.

Plug pulled on power plan ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Plans for underground Hydro service on an Armstrong street have been buried. The city hoped to removed eight Hydro poles from Okanagan Street during an underground beautification project slated for 2015, and had hoped to secure funds in an application to B.C. Hydro’s underground beautification funding. When a response from Hydro advised the estimated budget cost to remove the poles would be between $396,000 and $484,000, staff went back to its original plan. “It’s unfortunate we can’t get rid of the poles but it’s roughly $80,000 to remove each of them,” said Coun. Paul Britton. Coun. Kelly Rowe said at last week’s meeting staff recommended leaving the poles above ground, and including only the approved scope and budgets for Okanagan Street in the capital infrastructure upgrading plan. “That means a water main replacement and road restoration,” said Rowe. Sidewalk issue The city will not resurface a downtown sidewalk that some residents insist is in “deplorable condition.” Eight residents signed a letter to the city asking that the sidewalk on Patterson Avenue that extends Patterson Street to the Kindale property west of Okanagan Street be completely resurfaced. “It has been patched many times, giving it a rough, bumpy surface,” wrote the residents. “Daily, it is used by people walking to work and others with push carts or on exercise outings. We feel it needs complete resurfacing.” The city, however, says it’s not economically feasible to install a new sidewalk over an old water main that will require replacement in the future. “We recommend continuing to inspect and maintain this section of the sidewalk keeping it as safe as possible under the condition it is currently in,” said public works manager Tim Perepolkin. Council unanimously supported the staff recommendation. Bursary criteria change Grade 12 students at Pleasant Valley Secondary School hoping to earn the annual $500 Chris Pieper Bursary no longer have to be contemplating a particular field of post-secondary study interest. In the past, priority has been given to a student entering an agricultural or forestry field of study. “We kicked around the idea of making it a little less specific so that down the road, should there be no agricultural or forest applicants, we can follow the recommendations of the bursaries we give away,” said outgoing Coun. John Trainor, chairperson of the city’s finance committee. The city administers two $500 bursaries to graduating PVSS students: the Chris Pieper Bursary and the Betty Atkinson Bursary. No support The city will not support a motion from the Regional District of North Okanagan asking member municipalities and electoral areas to send a letter to B.C. Timber Sales requesting a moratorium on road development and logging on Cherry Ridge until a watershed assessment is completed. “This is the small business program in the small business development area that has gone through five years of development programs, silviculture reports and engineering reports,” said Mayor Chris Pieper. “Lumby and Cherryville want a further study on this. But the ministry of forests doesn’t take risks that I’m aware of so I personally

“It’s roughly $80,000 to remove each of them (poles).” — Paul Britton

won’t support this.” Coun. John Trainor seconded Pieper’s words. “We should take the lead from the mayor who spent much of his adult life working in the wood industry,” said Trainor. Council unanimously supported Trainor’s motion to receive and file the request for support.

Mrs. Claus is preparing for a visit to Enderby for the Community Christmas celebrations, which run from Friday to Sunday.

Enderby rings in the season RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

The festive spirit is gaining momentum throughout Enderby. Community Christmas celebrations run from Friday to Sunday. “We want to bring the community together,” said Craig Bell, one of the organizers. On Friday, students from M.V. Beattie Elementary will decorate the Christmas tree behind city hall at 10 a.m. with help from Santa and Mrs. Claus. And then at 6 p.m., the always popular Santa Claus parade will take to the streets downtown. “We have about 20 entries so far,” said Bell. That will be followed by a candlelight walk along the Shuswap River to the Riverside Park gazebo where there will be entertainment provided by the A.L. Fortune Secondary Jazz Band and the Tapestry Ladies Choir. The Enderby Lions Club will serve soup, hot dogs and hamburgers. “We will also have hay rides and a bonfire to keep everyone warm and cozy,” said Bell. The fun then continues on Saturday with a breakfast with Santa Claus at the Royal Canadian Legion branch from 9 to 10 a.m. That will be followed by photographs with Santa (every child gets one free photo). Also on Saturday, the Enderby Outdoor Craft Market runs from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Cliff Avenue. “We have 54 vendors so far,” said Bell. The final event of the weekend is a community Christmas dinner at the Enderby Seniors Centre Sunday. The doors open at 4:30 p.m. and the dinner is at 5 p.m. Reservations are required by calling 250-838-7527. Bell hopes everyone in Enderby and the surrounding area will take part in the Christmas activities. “We want everyone to come out and have fun,” he said. Also taking place Sunday is Enderby Chapel’s musical, A Soldier and A King. The Christmas drama will be performed Sunday at 10:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. at the Enderby Evangelical Chapel.

Splatsin inks partnership

Family Owned & Operated Offers valid ‘til December 9, 2014

Morning Star Staff

A local First Nation hopes an agreement will provide economic and social benefits. The Enderbybased Splatsin have signed an impact benefit agreement with the Sorgent.e Hydro Canada Corporation and Fosthall Creek Power for the development and operation of a power plant near Nakusp. “In order to move away from government funding and to bring prosperity to our people, our vision is building long-term partnerships as the one we are signing,” said Wayne Christian, Splatsin chief. Fosthall Creek Power is completing the last stage of development before construction and plans to deliver longterm energy to B.C. Hydro’s grid. Located on the shore of Upper Arrow Lake, the project has a friendly environmental footprint that will include a spawning channel and a penstock that runs on an old log flume pathway. Having built 1,000 megawatts in 25 countries, Sorgent.e owns and operates about 100 megawatts of hydro, wind and solar plants in Italy and Chile. Currently, Sorgent.e is developing new small hydro projects in Canada and several countries in South America. “We are an international group that loves to become local where it works. We are happy to be welcomed in your territory, where we want to stay with you for decades to come,” said Lucas de Haro, Sorgent.e Hydro Canada chief executive officer.

Morning Star Staff

The public flu clinics slated for Vernon’s Schubert Centre Thursday and Jan. 8 have been rescheduled to Jan. 15 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. due to the demand for the flu vaccine exceeding the current available supply. According to the Interior Health Authority, those eligible for the publicly funded vaccine may still be able to get the vaccine through physicians and pharmacies. The public is advised to call vaccine providers ahead to ensure vaccine is available. Immunize B.C.’s flu clinic locator (http://immunizebc.ca/ clinics/flu ) contains a list of public clinics and community vaccine providers.

Normally treated to a three-course dinner at Christmas, staff at Gray Monk Winery decided to forgo that tradition this year, opting instead to help the Lake Country Food Bank. Gray Monk and its employees donated $2,000 to the Lake Country Food Bank, the cost of the dinner and staff party the winery has held in the past. “We thought we would give them the funds to buy food or to go towards the new building,” said Trudy Heiss of Gray Monk. “It came up in a conversation with our staff and so that’s what we decided to do. This is a good cause.”

Zac Kronbauer of the VSS Panthers tries to break loose from Parker Bowles of the John Barsby Bulldogs Saturday afternoon at UBC.

Bulldogs bounce Cats Morning Star Staff/Black Press Sports

There was snow on the turf in Vancouver, but, in the end, it turned out to be a Rainey forecast for the Vernon Panthers. Quarterback North Rainey ran for a five-yard touchdown, which came after he picked off a pass playing defence, then threw a clinching 37-yard touchdown strike to Nathan Vogt with three minutes left to lift the defending champion John Barsby Bulldogs of Nanaimo to a 34-16 win over the No. 1-ranked Panthers in the B.C. AA Subway Bowl high school varsity football semifinal Saturday afternoon at UBC Thunderbird Stadium. “We all played for each other and we were playing till the last play,” said the 6-foot-3, 195-pound Rainey. “Not playing

for the score, just playing our hearts out.” The Bulldogs rallied from a 16-6 second quarter deficit by forcing three Panthers turnovers, including a couple in the final quarter with Barsby leading 22-16. “Unfortunately, a snow storm hit Vancouver on Friday night and blanketed the field with six inches of snow. We rely on a lot of speed and cutting and it severely limited what we could run offensively,” said VSS head coach Sean Smith. “They run a wing T offence and I think it played right into their hands as they could mash us down the field. Having said that, Barsby was the better team on the day and deserved the win. They made plays when they needed them (through the air and on the ground) and we couldn’t. “They converted a lot of third and long

and fourth down opportunities which kept drives alive and we couldn’t find any rhythm on offense in the second half. We turned the ball over more times today than we did all season combined, and you can’t do that if you want to beat the best.” VSS opened the scoring on the snowy tundra of Thunderbird Stadium on the game’s first drive when quarterback John Garvie hit Zac Kronbauer with a four-yard pass at 4:13. Levi Nicholas scored on a two-point convert run to give VSS an early 8-0 lead, an edge that held up after one quarter. After Barsby pulled to within two points, Nicholas rumbled 55 yards for a major, and Garvie ran in the two-point convert to give VSS a 16-6 lead.

The MEI Eagles of Abbotsford defeated the Fulton Maroons 3-0 (25-11, 25-20, 25-15) in Saturday’s gold-medal match at the B.C. Senior AA Volleyball Championships at the Langley Events Centre. The Eagles capped a historic 37-1 season by not losing a single set in either pool or playoff play during the four-day event. Fulton was the only opponent to even reach 20 points in a set against the blue-and-gold. The Eagles did not fall to a Double-A squad this season, falling only once all year to the Triple-A Kelowna Secondary Owls before getting revenge for that loss later in the season. This was the first time since 1985 that a Fulton senior boys team had reached the final (Fulton won in ‘85). “Our goal this year was to make the final,” said Fulton head coach Richard Bedard. “We knew that MEI was the best team in Western Canada, so the boys were pretty relaxed once we met our goal. “We had crazy finishes in our quarterfinals and our semifinal, so this was a great finish for us. It was the best season since the boys were so great to coach and we were truly a team.” MEI had even defeated all the teams on the AAA side of the draw, including the champion Earl Marriot Mariners of Surrey, in previous tournaments. Ryan Doerges and Danny Aspenlieder of Fulton were named first-team all-stars, while honourable mentions went out to Bryn Bedard and Nick Prystupa. The Maroons also received the Most Sportsmanlike team. “The referees vote after each match for the most sportsmanlike team, so not only were the boys playing their hardest, but they were also doing it with integrity,” said Bedard. According to MEI coach Jordan Geransky, this year’s team was “a perfect storm of some really special athletes. There’s a core that really knows how to compete together, and they also know how to bring the guys that are on the fringe into the core of the team. “Whereas in their junior year it felt like we had four or five core guys, this year felt like we had 14 core guys. It was a combination of leadership, athleticism, and volleyball skill.”

Dumonceaux delivers Surprises dad with cancer cheque ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Let’s see, what was the highlight of Saturday night’s 5-2 B.C. Hockey League victory at home over the Trail Smoke Eaters for Vernon Vipers veteran forward TJ Dumonceaux? Scoring two highlight reel goals? Two big divisional points as the team extended its winning streak to four games? Being named the game’s first star? Or surprising his dad, Perry, in a special pre-game ceremony when Perry thought he was going to be presenting his son with an honour? “It was all pretty surreal, it’s still sinking in,” said Dumonceaux, 20, after the game. “The best part was probably seeing my dad’s face when I said this isn’t what you think it is.” Perry Dumonceaux, 57, was escorted to centre ice prior to the game under the guise of presenting his son with a special community service award. It was son who turned the tables on dad, as TJ announced to the crowd of 1,700 that he had grown a moustache for Movember to help raise money for prostate cancer awareness after Perry was diagnosed with the disease a year ago. TJ’s goal was to raise $3,000. Thanks to help from his teammates, billets and fans, Dumonceaux raised $5,641 and presented his dad with the cheque, a huge hug and a framed Dumonceaux Vipers’ third jersey to the delight of the fans and both teams, who banged their sticks on the boards in approval. “He was shocked and in awe. He couldn’t believe it. It was pretty cool,” said Dumonceaux, who plans to keep his wispy ‘stache for awhile. “He had no idea I was doing this all month. I kept it secret from him.” Dumonceaux opened the scoring at 12:32 of the first period. He stepped out of the penalty box (slashing minor), slipped in behind the defence and took a great stretch pass from Brandon Egli to go in alone and beat Trail goalie Brett Clark top-shelf. The Vipers extended the lead early in the second when Liam Coughlin finished off a pretty three-way passing play from Liam Finlay and Luke Shiplo at 3:53 on a powerplay. Luke Voltin scored 14 seconds later, off the ensuing faceoff, and the Snakes enjoyed a 3-0 cushion. Vernon Minor Hockey product Harlan Orr got Trail on the board off a Vipers

turnover in their own end at 6:03, putting a shot past Jarrod Schamerhorn. Dumounceaux scored the goal of the night with nine seconds left in the frame. Coughlin took the puck down the right wing, fought off a defender, spun and fired a perfect pass to Dumonceaux at the left slot. Dumonceaux one-timed a rocket past Clark. Voltin ended the Vernon scoring at 6:55 of the third with his second of the night. Orr added his second for the Smokies on a late powerplay at 18:27. “Every game’s a four-point game,” said a disappointed Orr before greeting family and friends outside the Smokies’ dressing room. “If you lose, they’re further ahead, we’re further behind. If we win, we close the gap. From here on out, every game is huge because it’s a tight division and only four teams make the playoffs.” ROGER KNOX/MORNING STAR The Smoke Eaters had been Vernon Viper forward Colton McCarthy (left) tangles coming off an emotional 3-1 with Trail Smoke Eater defenceman Bryan Gerstenfeld home ice win Friday over the West Kelowna Warriors, and played during the Vipers’ 5-2 BCHL win Saturday at home. with three AP players Saturday as 16-7-1-2 for 35 points, two ahead of the several regulars either missed the game West Kelowna Warriors (14-8-0-5), and with sickness or injury, or played under 12 behind the league-leading Penticton the weather.

Eagles hold off Knights Morning Star Staff

After working hard to overcome an early two-goal deficit, the North Okanagan Knights couldn’t hold the lead. The Sicamous Eagles scored twice in the final 12 minutes to post a 5-4 Kootenay International Junior Hockey League win over the Knights Sunday afternoon at the Nor-Val Sports Centre in Armstrong. The Knights took on the Steam in Summerland Tuesday night. Devyn Myck scored the winner for the Eagles with 7:11 left in the game. The marker came nearly five minutes

after Nathan Grieve tied the contest with an unassisted marker. Rookies Sean Emmerson (fourth) and Nathan Washington (third) tied and gave the Knights the lead, respectively, at 2:09 and 3:01 of the final frame. Korwin Shewchuk opened the scoring for Sicamous (15-12-1-0) just two minutes in, and Darien Blight made it 2-0 Birds late in the first. The Knights (4-22-1-2) scored two powerplay markers in the second from Austin Fournier (eighth) and player of the game Jordan Passmore (team leading 10th), both goals set up by Zack Andrusiak and Logan Geefs.

Continued from A28

Two touchdowns in the final seven minutes of the half helped Barsby to a 22-16 lead at the break. “We got off to a great start as we scored on our first drive and had a 10-point lead midway through the second quarter,” said Smith. “However, we had a lapse to end the half and they scored twice in a short period of time to take a six-point lead. “The score stayed that way pretty much the whole second half. We had the ball with five minutes to go at midfield, trailing by six. A touchdown would have given us a pretty good shot at winning, but we couldn’t punch it in and that was the game.” Garvie finished the day 9-for-14 for 98 yards, a touchdown and four picks. Karson Patommel ran the ball 12 times for a team-leading 65 yards while Kronbauer churned out 23 yards on six carries. Nicholas had three catches for 66 yards while Josh Hyer added a pair for 17 yards. Carson Labreque led the Panthers defence with 10 tackles, Patommel had nine, Chase Larsen added eight, Kronbauer had seven and Nicholas had six tackles and one interception. Bulldogs’ coach Rob Stevenson said his team put pressure on the Panthers and wore down an opponent that hadn’t trailed at halftime all season. “That was a place they’d never been. They were out in deep water getting fatigued and the rest took care of itself,” said Stevenson. Rainey finished 10-for-14 passing for 191 yards. Cole Virtanen had 19 carries for 110 yards and two touchdowns and Trentyn Anderson had 23 carries for 97 yards and a TD. Defensively, Rainey and Vogt had two interceptions each and Hill made seven tackles. “I saw tenacity, I saw guys executing the playbook, trusting one another with their assignments and an outstanding team effort defensively, special teams and the offence was very efficient,” added Stevenson. The Panthers, who were undefeated prior to Saturday, were trying to become the first-ever Vernon team to reach a B.C. high school football final. “We had a great run with these boys,” said Smith. “The seniors have lost two games total in two years and both were elimination games in the provincial quarterfinals and semifinals, which is a testament to their work ethic and dedication to football. “They have set the bar higher for future Panther teams. Right now we are all very disappointed as we didn’t realize our goal of winning it all. However, I’m very proud of their accomplishments and was very fortunate to coach such talented and committed young men.” Smith praised the work of assistant coaches Tim Thorpe, Dave Tetrault, Keith Johnston, Jeff Collins, and Mike Riva (first aid) who played a huge role in preparing the Panthers for battle each week. Barsby will play the Mission Roadrunners in Saturday’s Subway Bowl final at B.C. Place.

Manton’s snipe lifts Midget Snakes Morning Star Staff

LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR

Bryce Pyle of the Vernon Home Building Centre Vipers tries to keep the puck from Samuel Anzai of the California Wave in Midget Tier 1 hockey play Saturday at Kal Tire Place. California won 8-1.

The Vernon Home Building Centre Vipers bowed 8-1 to the California Wave and shaded the West Kelowna Warriors 2-1 in Midget Tier 1 hockey action. California counted their opening four goals on an awesome powerplay and added two more 22 seconds apart just before the ice clean Saturday at Kal Tire Place. The Vipers replied on a powerplay early in the second when Darien Grace connected, with assists to Bryce Pyle and Jason Shaigec. Sunday’s game in West Kelowna was a goaltending duel before Brady Marzocco opened the scoring for the Vipers on a tip-in, from Zach Manton, early in the third period. West Kelowna’s Josh Evans equalized a few minutes later before Manton scored the winner on a point shot, with assists to Marzocco and Stephane Richard. The Source for Sports Bantam Tier 1 Vipers iced the Salmon Arm Silvertips 3-2 Saturday night at the Shaw Centre. Nick Cherkowski scored on a sweet wrister in the first, Dawson Chase converted from the point in the second and Mika Burns buried a great feed from Dylan Sedlacek in the third. Tyler Sedlacek was stellar in net and Cherkowski was awarded the hard hat.

Silvertips strike Calgary gold

The Salmon Arm Midget A Female Silvertips, sponsored by Armstrong Co-Op, won the gold medal in their Division at the Wickfest International tournament in Calgary. The Sunday final was a rematch of the tournament opener and Salmon Arm again handled the Innisfail Flyers of Alberta 3-1. Tareyn Hanson scored her first of the season to open the scoring and captain Hailey Haskell scored on another slapshot to provide a cushion. With the Flyers pressing hard to get back in the game, Taylor Vandale scored with only a minute left. The Flyers broke the shutout with nine seconds left. Retired Olympian Hayley Wickenheiser delivered the game awards on the ice immediately after

the game. “It was great to win the tournament,” said head coach Rob Bauml of Vernon, “but it was a real treat to have a player who is a real hockey hero to these girls take the time to come on the ice and present our awards. The girls were so excited to have the chance to meet her and take a picture.” The Tips opened with a 3-2 win over Innisfail on goals from Sam Maric, Haskell and Emily Clark. Vandale, Cassidy Marshall and Cailee Bauml each scored twice as Salmon Arm stopped a young Mexican team 8-1. Haskell and Brooke Miller supplied singles. In the spirit of international play, the Tips exchanged gifts with the Mexican girls after the game. The Tips earned a 3-0 win over the Fort Saskatchewan Fury to punch their ticket to the final. Vandale (2) and Mikayla Stirling handled the scoring. The Tips defeated Sherwood Park 3-1 in their final preliminary title with Clark (2) and Marshall posting the offence. The Watkins Motors Mustangs dropped a 7-5 decision to the Kelowna Rockets Sunday afternoon at Priest Valley Arena. The Mustangs spotted the Rockets a 4-0 lead before fighting their way back into the game. Newcomer Corbin Hansen pocketed a deuce for the Mustangs, singles going to Steel Quiring, Nick Teale, and Lochlan O’Keefe. Trevor Kennedy and Zack Funk chipped in two assists each. Goaltending duties were split between Cayden Hamming and Kobe Grant.

Fix Auto Bantams sixth

The Bantam Fix Auto Tier 3 Vipers finished sixth in the 11-team Kelowna tourney, falling 8-4 to Langley Sunday morning. Ethan Joe (2), Griffin Evans and Dayton Bryan bagged goals for Vernon. Joe pulled the hat trick as the Fix Auto boys crushed Chilliwack 6-2 Saturday morning. Tanner Wright, with a deuce, and Sean Howard completed the offence. Zayne Hanke and Luc Halvorson each had two assists.

Maroons’ future bright Continued from A28

Jordan Koslowsky was brilliant for MEI at setter, while fellow senior Jordan Loewen and Grade 11 Kaden Gamache proved merciless on the attack. All 14 MEI players were rotated into the game. The Eagles, who have finished in the top-three in each of the last 13 provincial tournaments, are now in possession of nine championships. Gamache, Loewen, and Levi Block were all awarded first team all-stars. Koslowsky won Most Outstanding

Player, while Keaton Boughen took home Most Outstanding Libero. The Maroons will be in good shape for next year. “We have five Grade 11’s on the team – three of them were honoured as standouts,” said Bedard. “We have a good group of juniors coming up. I’m already excited about what next season could be like.” The Maroons also included Jordy Barr, Kody Glinsbockel, Karanmeet Khatra, Jake O’Quinn, Connor Shannon and assistant coach/manager Karen Bedard.

Morning Star Staff

Hard work and hustle paid dividends for the Vernon Voltage as they overcame a two-goal deficit to post an 8-7 win over Salmon Arm in Under 12 ringette action. Tara Charlton led the Vernon attack, netting her first two goals of the season, while helping out on two more. Hannah McMorran and U10 callup McKenna Jackson also scored twice for the Voltage, who avenged a 10-6 loss to the same team a week earlier. Sierra Lochhead and Shaila Austin rounded out the Voltage scoring. Rhys Taylor-Hawes, making her season debut between the pipes, was solid in the win. In other U12 play, the Vernon Flare clipped West Kelowna 2-1 on goals by Kristin Ho and Jasmine Horton. Ashley Wadsworth, with an assist, Brynn Korol, Alassa Johnson and Miah Cohen all played awesome defence in front of a superb Kaila Summerfelt. In a rematch of a tight Belle Division game last weekend, the Vernon Raid ambushed the Kelowna Kibosh 10-1 Sunday in Rutland. It was another tight-checking affair until Brenna Beck opened the scoring for the Raid on a great solo effort at 12 minutes. Goals from Ashleigh Cohen and Bailey Williamson gave the Raid a 3-0 lead at the break. The second period again started slowly, but the Raid exploded with seven goals in the last eight minutes for their strongest offensive showing of the season. Dayce Knopf turned the natural hat trick, while Beck and Jennifer Dahl each pocketed deuces and Shelby Fisher collected a single. Assists went to Ashley Eso (3), Fisher (2), Anastasia Pelletier and Cohen. The Raid got marvellous defensive play from Taylor Gray, Katelyn Paulin, Jocelyn Jones and Kennedy Pope. Emily Olds lost her shutout bid in the dying minutes. The Vernon U10 Strikers smacked West Kelowna 15-3 Sunday at PV Arena with Madison Edgar stellar in net.

Precision passing enabled the Strikers to score 13 seconds in with Sasha Austin going top corner after receiving a pass from Sierra Fernley. Soon after, Brianna Visser sent Fernley in to snipe her first of two goals on the day. Aimee Skinner then fired in two quick goals to put the Strikers into a commanding lead. Ally Hobenshield pulled a hat trick and had a strong two-way game. Emily Gilman and Alecia Hughes each netted a pair, while singles came from Sydney Lewis, Caryss Hill and Brianna Visser. The Strikers fell 11-7 to the Kelowna Ice Angels Saturday at the Kelowna Capital News Centre. The Strikers got off to a good start with goals from Skinner, Hill and Lauren Cooke before running into penalty trouble. Visser (2), Edgar and Hill connected in the second half. In other U10 play, the Kelowna Purple Minions iced the Vernon Ice Breakers 9-5 at PV. Amelia Johnson (2), Kennedy Johnson, Kristen Franks and Makenna Jackson provided the Breaker snipes. Taylor Stewart and Rebekah Kempner played aggressive defensively for the 8-1 Breakers. Verity White and Jordan Tung had solid chances on offence.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder THE SUIT COMBINATION THAT USUALLY WORKS Henry Ward Beecher, a clergyman and social reformer who died in 1887, said, “Our days are a kaleidoscope. Every instant a change takes place in the contents. New harmonies, new contrasts, new combinations of every sort.” We see suit combinations at the bridge table every day. Most we have met before, but even then a few are misplayed with a fair frequency. In today’s deal, South is in three no-trump. After West leads the heart queen and East plays the king, what should declarer do? South has eight top tricks: one spade, one heart, three diamonds and three clubs. The ninth trick might come

from hearts if they are splitting 3-2. So South should duck the first trick. Here, East will shift, presumably to a diamond. Declarer wins and cashes his heart ace to get the bad news. So he needs two spade tricks. In isolation, what is the best play? One should play first to the nine (hoping West has the jack and 10), then, if the nine loses to the 10 or jack, lead to the queen (hoping West has the king). This is exactly a 63 percent chance, but does not work here. Instead, there is a much better play. South should cash a second high diamond and a couple of rounds of clubs. When everyone follows, declarer should take his third club and third diamond. Then

he plays a spade to dummy’s nine (or covers West’s 10 with dummy’s queen). East wins and cashes a winner or two, but then must lead away from the spade king (or jack) into dummy’s ace-queen (or ace-nine). Watch out for this endplay position with A-Q-10 or A-Q9 opposite low cards.

He belonged to NONC, Friends of Fintry, and worked on Okanagan Shusway LRMP. He volunteered at the Gleaner store as well as barn tours at the Fintry Park, and was shop steward for Teamsters 213. Erin was a passionate outdoorsman; he enjoyed hiking, biking, canoeing, camping, and was avid birder, flora fauna and history buff. He willingly shared his extensive knowledge, helped with badge work in guiding, hiking along with them helping with Nite Trek setting up the route for many years. His family, friends, and acquaintances were all imparted with any knowledge in whatever endeavor they were sharing with him. He will be greatly missed by all who were touched by his life. A service of remembrance will be held on Saturday December 6, 2014 at 2 PM at Lavington Baptist Church.

Lawyer

Marriage breakdown is based on one of the following 3 “grounds.” There are just three grounds for marriage breakdown: Cruelty or Adultery, or Separation for one year. Any one of them is sufficient for divorce. You do not need to have more than one ground. Separation for one year: You have lived “separate and apart” for a year having decided the marriage is over. Living “separate and apart” does not necessarily mean living in separate homes. You can live separate and apart while sharing a home. It is also possible to claim that although you only recently moved out and live in a different home, the marriage broke down and was essentially over at some time in the past, regardless of living arrangements You do not need a separation agreement to prove separation.

We worry, so you don’t have to!

Q: A:

I want to install a wood burning stove in my home, is there anything I need to know before I do this?

Yes! There are a number of rules and regulations that must be strictly followed when installing a wood burning stove. First of all, check with your local by-law authorities, as there are some jurisdictions that do not allow wood burning appliances, or have strict guidelines as to what type of appliance you can use, such as high efficiency stove that has a rating recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency. Buying a new stove is always the best choice, and having it professionally installed by a WETT (Wood Energy Technical Training) certified installer, after that the stove must be inspected by a WETT certified inspector and the appropriate paperwork filled out for your insurance company. Installing the stove yourself is discouraged, however if you choose to do it yourself, remember; when in doubt, always ask an expert.

Q: A:

MPCP, CHt

Is listening to music a challenge with hearing aids?

Do you want to stop smoking or do you want smoking to stop you?

Music is dynamic with a variable range and higher intensity than speech; therefore an aid must manage the inputs differently. If not handled correctly, the peaks in music can’t pass into the processer- resulting in a distorted sound even before any attempts are made to clean up the signal. Next, most likely everyone has witnessed a hearing aid “whistling” in the ear of a loved one or stranger. So when manufacturers developed “feedback cancellation”, surely they did not anticipate that this would affect music. Traditional feedback cancellation methods would mistake music for feedback due to the loud and sustained nature of musical notes and attempt to cancel them.

As a smoker, you will be spending approximately $350 per month to smoke a pack a day. That is $4,200 a year that you are burning up. Book your appointment with Carole today. Gift yourself and those who love you this Christmas adding years to your life and life to your years. You CAN do it.

Good news, current devices on the market can discern the elements of music from feedback using special ‘music’ programs. These features ensure an authentic representation of the music signal and result in your improved enjoyment of music.

I have been looking for my First Home but have noticed that most homes that I have viewed need to have some things replaced. I don’t have the money to make the changes, is there a way of replacing carpets and paint when I buy the home?

Yes, We can easily include the cost of renovation within the mortgage. And even if you are purchasing a home with the minimum down payment it is possible. A Purchase plus Improvement Mortgage will help you to make the home your own personal taste and is simple to do. You will have to provide written quotations for the work to completed, and the renovations must be considered to increase the value of the home once they are done- meaning all of the upgrades must be installed or built into the home to qualify. This is a great product that will help you to make this home feel like Your Home! Give us a call to get started! E&O/OAC

Lake Country Mounties will be out in full force for the third annual RCMP Cram the Cruiser. The event takes place Saturday at the Lake Country Cooper’s from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and donations will be collected for the Lake Country Food Bank. “In years past, Cooper’s Foods shoppers have been asked to consider adding an item or items to their grocery shopping list for the food bank to help Cram the Cruiser,” said Cst. Jesse O’Donaghey, event organizer. Cooper’s will again have pre-packaged bags for the food bank available in store, which are typically filled with canned soup, beans, vegetables, tuna, as well as packages of noodles, and boxes of pasta for a discounted price of $5 each. “Of course members of the public are also welcome to bring their food donations from home,” said O’Donaghey. This year, members of the Lake Country Fire Department will be on site to serve chilli and a bun for a donation to the food bank. All of the food supplies are being donated by Campbell’s Soup and Cooper’s Foods. Everyone who donates can enter their name into a draw for prizes donated by both Lake Country and Kelowna businesses. “So far our sponsors this year include
